I still don't understand how this guy violated state law.

He may have violated Greyhound policy, but I don't see a UUW.

If the guy is on the up & up, his recourse is a 42USC sect. 1983 lawsuit. I hope he has the resources and support. As a company policy Greyhounds only recourse is to not allow you to ride. It would not even arise to requiring a call to the police unless they have asked you to leave and you refused. This is a perfect illustration not to let fear prevent you from otherwise enjoying a lawful activity. If they want to harass you they will charge you with anything, proving it is another story.

It would be nice to know what specific AGG UUW provision was cited in the arrest?

Does anyone have any updates on this?

Didn't he try throwing it in the garbage can, off the bus?  That could be the technicality of the charge.
What just happened?

I hope he sues!

Yes. I'm predicting that Chicago/Cook county will be sold out in order to get "shall issue".

I would think SAF would be on this one..

It would be a shot across the bow and harbinger of things to come should the 7th overturn IL UUW and Chicago wants to keep up their nonsense

vactor -- how did you find out?
While a 9 mm or .40 caliber bullet may or may not expand, it is an undeniable fact that a .45 caliber bullet will never shrink.

Good to hear a good judicial decision.  I hope the accused turns the tables and sues those who wrongfully arrested him without cause!
